difficulty
very hard |||||

             Cm                     G                       A7                 D7       G4   G  Dm  G 
I never learned to spell, at least not well
                                                                         G7                     C 
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
         Cm                 G                       A7             G7       G4   G  Dm  G 
I never learned to count a great amount
 Gm7                                                                               C7   F7M 
But my busy mind is burning to     use what learning
             Em7  A7  D7                                                   G                         G7                                     Dm7       G7 
I got,             I won waste any time, I strike while the iron is hot
                           C                                                     G7           C 
If they asked me, I could write a book
           G7                 C                     G7                           C           C#º   Dm7  G7 
About the way you walk and whisper and             look
 F   G7           C       Ab7   Dm7         G7             C         F#º   G 
I could write a               preface             on how we               met
 C   F#º     G             Eb7       Am7  D7             G   Dm7  G7 
So the             world would never           forget
                             C                                     G7           C 
And the simple secret of the plot
         G7           C                       G7         C                       C#º  Dm7  G7 
Is just to tell them that I love you a                   lot
       F       G7           C       Ab7  Dm7  G7           Cm7     C7         F 
Then the world discovers                 as my           book ends
   Dm                 C         G7   Dm7     G7           C 
How to make two lovers               of friends
                           C                                                     G7           C 
If they asked me, I could write a book
           G7                 C                     G7                           C           C#º   Dm7  G7
